polish-soviet war

I think it would be very likely, as Germany was incredibly vulnerable to foreign invasion, and if Poland fell, it would be logical to think that Soviets would soon come to the aid of the Communists in Germany, aiming to put a Bolshevik hegemony over Europe by force. The Entente might even make...

As it said in the title. While the borderlands between the two countries where the immediate reason the war happened both sides did, at one point or another, exhibit wider ambitions and hoped for a decisive victory to allow them to ennact them. The USSR had projects of turning Poland into a...

Like it says on the tin. Assuming the USSR wins the Battle of Warsaw and basically conquers Poland, would they partition it with the Weimar Republic in exchange for diplomatic recognition or something similar? Let's say the latter gets bits of Silesia, the Corridor and Posen, basically restoring...

In 1920, the Polish-Soviet War broke out between the newly-independent nation of Poland and the Bolsheviks. It began with a Polish offensive in the Ukraine, supported by the deposed Ukrainian nationalist government, then a Soviet offensive which almost brought about the destruction of Poland...

Ch 1. - “His Superfluous Excellency” "[the Office of Vice President] is one anomalous insignificance and curious uncertainty." - Woodrow Wilson, c. 1885 in his book “Congressional Government”. The typical newspaper headlines the week following October 2nd, when President Wilson passed of a...

What are the possible results of Finland joining into the Polish-Soviet War on the Polish side? I know they already had some grievances against the Soviets already and were involved in skirmishes and battles on the borderlands. What benefit would the Poles and Finns have by coordinating? Is...

I heard Poland wanted to create the Intermarium which was a proposed federation of Central and Eastern European countries. However, it failed after the Polish-Soviet War. But what if around late 1919 to early 1920, the White Army (and Polish) managed to successfully destroy the Bolsheviks and...

What if during Russian Civil War, Poland had not decided to invade western lands and spark Polish-Soviet War, thus preventing it from gaining Western Belarus and Ukrainian lands? How would it go? Would Stalin later retry to take all of Poland or he'd leave it alone like he did after Treaty of...

So Stalin was one of the military commanders against the Poles in this war, and he disobeyed orders from superiors to assist at Warsaw, focusing on the Ukrainian city of Lvov. What if Stalin had been killed at Lvov, or after for disobeying orders? Does this have any impact on the P-S War? Does...

So, in a war that's rather forgotten due to the much larger conflicts both before and after it, Poland and the newborn Soviet Union went to war in 1919, the Polish-Soviet War. The reasons for the war are complex, being a combination of a desire amongst the Polish to regain the eastern...
